After several months of computer woes, I am again able to keep track of my knitting. I've been to Medrith's Knitting Camp - great knitting, not great accomodations, learned to darn socks from Emily Ocker and saw some of her original lace work, picked Medrith's brain about short rows, Fair Isle evenness of gauge, the need to eliminate mistakes as soon as they are found, and a new kind of sweater construction - the Ginny cardigan. I've also been to the Ashland retreat with the Ample Knitters at the Ashland Springs Hotel - great accomodations and people, lots of fun but costly. Not only did we spend lots of time and money at Web*sters but I got a speeding ticket driving up with Sheila.
The new desk/drawer/shelf combo was designed today for both work and stash and knitting books; final decisions still need to be made (can we afford doors? Can we stand to have the work station not covered up?) but I should be able to fit all my stash in one room and closet. Pictures of the before to come soon; installation will probably be at least a month away.
